Biography

blue underline

Born in 1991, I was a very chubby kid growing up. I discovered climbing at 21 in Barcelona, and after that I never wanted to do anything else. At 23, I traveled the world for 2 years and decided to emigrate to Canada in 2015. Because of the long winters I got really into snowsports, but after breaking a few bones I decided to focus again on climbing. After training for 2 winters I improved a lot, sending routes 5.12d and 5.13a and onsighting 5.12c. Moving to Squamish I got into trad climbing and really liked the process of head-pointing spicy routes. I’ve never been the bravest climber, and I was very scared of falling for years, but now I feel ready to bring all that fitness, mindset and skills to Ice and Mixed climbing. What I love about climbing the most, is that you can always improve and put effort towards something that inspires you, and that’s a very rewarding path. As an Athlete, my goal is to be able help others overcome all those barriers, through guiding, coaching and educating. I want to give back to the community that has given me so much and helped me have a life I could never imagine having.

Q & A

  1. Who is your mentor?: Will Gadd
  2. How did you get involved with your respective sport?: Through my friends and mentors in Catalunya. They took me out, tought me everything about climbing outside, they let me borrow their gear and put up with my rookie mistakes. After that I just started travelling and meeting people at climbing areas. Meeting people and visiting places is one of my favorite aspects of the sport.

  7. How are you going to pass on what you learn in the mentorship program to others?: My role as a mentor is to create more mentors. To encouraged them to get outside and seak challenges while taking care of the environment and themselves.
